Spoken only in whispers, Alexander Crown aka the "Vitruvian Man," can be reached by the desperate.

Once a mercenary, now a philanthropist, Crown was trained with an off-the-books operation designed to create intelligence assets. In other words, an assassin. He broke away from the program after five years when his partner was murdered in Dubrovnik, Croatia.

His new life supporting his children's orphanage in Cape Town, Africa gave him a refreshing new beginning. He now borrows from the wealthy and gives to the poor. Alexander Crown is the "Vitruvian Man" - the measure of all things.

There was a time when I was jailed, locked in a padded cell in the psycho ward at San Mateo County General Hospital. What you are about read is true, nothing is false, there are no lies, even verbal exchanges are authentic. The atrocities that happened are accurate.

I had lived during a time when the impossible was uncommon. Greed, anger, hate, none of that mattered. What mattered was love. THE SUMMER OF LOVE was a social phenomenon that occurred during the summer of 1967. As many as 100,000 love bugs, mostly young people sporting hippie fashions of dress and behavior, converged in San Francisco's neighborhood Haight-Ashbury. Hippies also gathered in other places in the U.S., Canada and Europe, but San Francisco was the most publicized location for hippie subculture. Sometimes the Hippies were called flower children. Suspicious of the government, they rejected consumerist values, and generally opposed the Vietnam War. A few were interested in politics; others were concerned more with art (music, painting, poetry in particular) or spiritual and meditative practices.

My SUMMER OF LOVE started during 1976, when Tom Moskal and I flew to Europe on shoestring budgets, worked in Croatia, endured a few hardships, fused with various antiquated cultures, killed a lot of beer and wine, ate fish eyes and monkey brains, camped on beaches, had fist fights with Greeks, were chased by a gang of teenage Greek boys, had passports confiscated by Serbian Military Police, M16s rifles pointed at us by Turk border guards, waterskied in the Adriatic Sea, swan in the Aegean and Black Seas, met foreign travelers along our way, slept with Dutch, Australian women, and so much more. Join Tom and I for one fun adventure of our lives by reading my new novel/memoir titled TRAVELS with TOM, publishing the summer of 2018.

Infused with photos I had taken, our adventure begins in Mt. View, California, and continues with a drive across the U.S., a flight out of New York City, and landing in Luxembourg. What happens next is outrageous.
